Quick Summary

Overview

Member of Technical Staff, Product TL;DR: Listen is building the human layer of AI. We're Sequoia-backed, raised $100M, and our customers include Anthropic, Google, and Cursor. We're hiring engineers who can build a complex AI-native product on a small team of former founders and top-tier builders.

As AI gets better at building things, the bottleneck shifts to knowing what to build. We're the bridge between AI systems and what humans actually want. Today our customers are companies. Soon, AIs themselves will be our customers.

Our platform runs AI-moderated video interviews at massive scale. We find the right people from a network of millions, our AI conducts open-ended conversations with thousands of them in parallel, and we surface what to build next. What used to take research teams weeks per study, we do in hours.

Where it's going: every interview feeds a human preference model. We simulate human behavior at scale: how people react to new ideas, how they make decisions, how preferences shape markets, and how change ripples through society. We expose this as the Human API. An AI agent writes code, asks Listen whether users would actually want a feature, gets a grounded answer back, and iterates. Closed loop product development at AI speed. Every coding agent will eventually need this signal.

  • Series B with $100M raised from Sequoia, Conviction, Ribbit, AI Grant, and Pear VC.

  • Selective team of <20 engineers including VC-backed founders, IOI medalists, and engineers from Jane Street and Tesla Autopilot.

  • Customers include Anthropic, Cursor, Perplexity, Google, Microsoft, Robinhood, Nestlé, P&G, and Sweetgreen.

  • Post-PMF growth: 20x year-over-year revenue.

  • Huge market: clear path to $1M+ contracts at over 50% of the Fortune 2000.

  • Top of market compensation with meaningful equity.

  • Comprehensive healthcare and dental, flexible time off, a culture that values balance and trust.

  • Joining at an inflection point. PMF is real, the market ahead is enormous, the team is still small enough that every engineer's work shapes the company.
